Buying prints from Ikea or buying the cheap Bob Marley poster from the student union may seem trendy but everyone ends up having the same living room. Is it not more interesting and bold to have a hand in the creation of the art work which ends up on the wall?

With digital photography becoming more and more popular, this can be achieved by putting personal photos on canvas, be it a sentimental family photo, a shot of a beautiful landscape or even a self-portrait. For someone who wants to be creative and yet lacks confidence in their artistic ability this is a great way to go about the décor of a home as it is almost fool-proof. It means that making a statement could not be easier as no one can really afford to buy the latest Damien Hirst painting, especially within a recession.

The ability to be able to choose a unique photo to be put on canvas is a revolutionary way of bringing innovative art to everyone. Art is no longer just something that can be enjoyed by the elite, to mull over at an exhibition but it is something which everyone can enjoy and take part in themselves.
